creative thinking
Listen to students in ways that
support their growth
Reinforce students’ efforts and
remind or redirect them when they go off track.

language to support academic engagement and critical thinking skills as called
for in the Common Core State Standards. And an updated, livelier format makes
this second edition even easier to read.
